Baskerville 2.0
British Bluefaced Leicester / Gotland
fingering 100g = 350 meters (383 yards)

Hailing from the mysterious West Country moors, this new version of my ethical British blend melds the velvety crimp of fine Gotland and buttery softness of British Bluefaced Leicester. Non-superwash, this yarn has a gentle shimmer from the natural lustre of the BFL, creating a subtly modern take on traditional rustic yarns.⁠

I’ve upped Baskerville 2.0’s low-processed eco-credentials by omitting the use of silk. This yarn is still is spun in a family owned British mill, which is also used by luxury fashion giants such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith.

Unlike many yarns that can be shipped across the world several times for different processes, Baskerville is sourced, scoured, spun all at this British mill and then trucked to me in Hastings for dyeing in my kitchen keeping carbon footprints low for an eco-friendly supply chain.
